Last week, Tess decided that she wanted to buy lunch at school. She talked about it, worried about it (where to put her money, how to ask for the food, what they might have for lunch, how to make sure it was vegetarian, how to carry her money and the tray). SHE WAS TRIUMPHANT! And, of course, she started writing about her lunches everyday. I just found her first lunch story. She typed it up on the home computer and printed it out. I found it in the printer tray.
In it, I believe there is much about the human condition. It is a tale of a six-year-old getting her first hot lunch at school, but look in between the lines and you'll see much about living. What IS that green stuff? Maybe we don't like it … or maybe we just haven't tasted it yet. Maybe we spend a lot of time wondering about it.
today i got school lunch. i had
pineapples, a potato with sour
cream, and this green stuff. It all
was yummy, except i didn't
actually like the green stuff
yet. Maybe i just havent tasted it
yet. Maybe i just did't know what it
was. I was wondering what
that was for almost the whole
lunch time! But it was just half of
the lunch time. The pineapples,
and
the potato, and also the salad
was good.
